Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF20X50S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF20X50S is a genuine HLF slide-table cylinder, 20 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a low-height cross-roller guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 125.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF20X50S
The AirTAC HLF20X50S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that pairs a cross-roller linear guide with a low-height body, delivering precise straight travel in a reduced vertical profile. The 20 mm bore offers higher thrust for a bigger bore, and the dual-rod layout doubles that thrust while a floating joint isolates the rods from side torque. At 50 mm stroke this model provides the longest travel in the HLF 20 mm bore range while retaining the compact body height.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH or EMSH series switches. We verify thrust, dimensions and allowable load-moment from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page spec table on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC HL slide-table data. Max working pressure is 0.7 MPa. The table rides on an integrated linear guide — do not apply strong impact or large moment. Allowable load and moment are published as tables and curves, and overall dimensions vary per stroke — ask us and we confirm from the datasheet.
How to choose
Select the 20 mm bore when more push is needed than smaller bores provide; the on-page thrust table lists the exact figure at your pressure. The HLF low-height cross-roller guide is the right choice when cross-roller precision and rigidity are required but vertical mounting space is limited, and its two port sets give flexible plumbing options. Confirm the 50 mm stroke is the maximum available within the bore 20 stroke table in the datasheet. This listing specifies PT threads; G and NPT versions are ordered as separate model codes.
Applications
Workpiece Index
Index a workpiece 50 mm between machining or inspection stations on a low-height cross-roller table that fits within a narrow multi-station fixture.
Tool Change Traverse
Slide a tool head or small fixture 50 mm between engaged and retracted positions where the low-profile body keeps the overall assembly height down.
Sorting Diverter
Use the 50 mm guided stroke as a diverter push at a sorting conveyor, where cross-roller rigidity ensures repeatable push position and the low body fits under guide rails.
FAQ
Is the magnet optional on the HLF20X50S?
No. The S in the model code indicates a standard magnet is fitted on every unit in this line. Position sensing uses CMSH, DMSH or EMSH series switches that mount in the magnetic-switch slots on the cylinder body. There is no non-magnet variant in this series.
What is the maximum operating pressure and speed limit?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi), with an operating range of 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi) for the 20 mm bore. Rated speed is 50 to 500 mm/s and should be controlled with meter-out flow regulation.
